Wildroot Relationship Therapy PLLC

LMFT

Licensed In:
Colorado, Illinois
“I’m a marriage and family therapist who works through a systemic and attachment-based lens, exploring how past and present relationships shape how we experience ourselves and others. Early emotional environments teach us ways to cope and connect, but those strategies aren’t always sustainable. Therapy offers a space to explore and reshape those patterns. I specialize in working with couples and new parents navigating disconnection, communication challenges, and identity shifts. I also support individuals, adolescents, children, and families in learning to move through emotions rather than around them, building confidence, resilience, and secure connections.”

“You love your child deeply, but parenting feels harder than you ever expected. Maybe you are exhausted by constant power struggles, worried about your child's anxiety, big emotions, or behavior, or wondering why the strategies that seem to work for other families just are not working in yours. You may be carrying the weight of adoption, foster care, trauma, having a neurodivergent child no one else understands, or your coming to terms with your own childhood experiences while trying to be the parent you want to be. I work with parents who want things to feel different. You may know what is happening does not feel right, but not know how to shift it. Together, we will make sense of what brought you to therapy, maybe your child's unique nervous system, maybe your own experience of trauma as a child, while also strengthening your relationships, and building practical strategies that help your whole family feel more connected, confident, and supported.”

Compass Collective

M.S. LPC-Associate

Licensed In:
Texas
“The clients who work well with me are those who may be self aware, or knowledgeable about therapy techniques, but do not have the tools to make the improvements they already know they need to make. I also help my clients see things from different perspectives in order to fully understand the situations they've experienced and why they react the way they do. Clients who come to me often struggle with family dynamics, perhaps they are the scape goat, or the helper/fixer of their family. Often my clients have experienced abuse of some sort, be it childhood, adulthood, religious, or sexual. The clients I most enjoy helping are those who struggle to feel seen, to understand why they are constantly treated poorly, and why no one seems to understand what they are feeling. These clients also often struggle with behaviors they can't seem to stop or prevent.”

Inner Archive Therapy, PLLC

MS, LPC-Associate, LPCC

Licensed In:
Colorado, Texas
“I work with adolescents (16+) and adults navigating chronic pain, medical and institutional betrayal trauma, religious trauma, dissociation, identity concerns, and spirituality. Many of the clients I work with understand on a logical level that they are safe enough, yet their nervous system continues to respond as though danger is present. In many ways, I work with danger that has overstayed its welcome.”

Serenity Therapy, LLC

LMHC, LPC, LCPC, LPCC

Licensed In:
Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin
“So many of the adults I work with are high-functioning on the outside while quietly struggling on the inside. Anxiety has become a constant companion. Something from the past still shows up in unexpected ways, affecting relationships, sense of safety, or how they see themselves. And no matter what they accomplish, it never feels like enough. If you're hard on yourself, caught in cycles of perfectionism, or carrying more than you let on, you're not alone. I work with adults navigating anxiety, healing from trauma, and untangling the belief that their worth depends on what they produce or how perfectly they perform. My approach is warm and collaborative, and I'll meet you exactly where you are.”

We’ll look at the patterns keeping you stuck, challenge the thoughts that make things harder, and build coping tools that work for your life. I offer non-judgmental sessions, with a little bit of humor - I believe humor can healing!”

Your best Life Therapy

LCSW 26719; LW 61440116

Licensed In:
California, Washington
“You're the woman who has it together on the outside. The business, the family, the full life. But internally you're exhausted, scattered, and wondering why the things that work for everyone else don't seem to work for you. You're wired differently, carrying more than most, and possibly navigating hormonal shifts that nobody talks about honestly. You've done the work before. You're ready for something that actually sticks — deeper, faster results with a therapist who genuinely gets the specific weight you carry. And if you happen to be a therapist yourself, you already know how rare it is to find someone who truly gets the weight you carry on both sides. In our work together, you get to take off the clinician hat completely. This is your space to just be a person, not a professional, not the one with the answers, not the one holding everyone else together. Just you.”

About LGBTQ+ Affirming

This page helps you find licensed mental health providers who offer online care for LGBTQ+ clients. Whether you are looking for affirming therapy, support around identity, relationships, family stress, trauma, anxiety, depression, or medication management, telehealth can expand your options beyond the nearest zip code. Online care depends on where a provider is licensed and where you are physically located during sessions, so start by selecting the state or states where you will be during appointments. Then narrow your results with filters like service type, therapy modality, language, age group, and insurance.

Before you book

  • Ask about the provider’s experience with your concerns and goals.
  • Confirm availability, session fees, and your insurance coverage directly.
  • Check that the provider can work with you in each state where you will attend sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions About Online Therapy for LGBTQ+ Support

How do I use this page to find an online provider for LGBTQ+ support?

Start by choosing the state or states where you will be physically located during sessions. Then use filters to narrow the list by service type, therapy modality, language, age group, insurance, and more. Read provider profiles to see whether they mention LGBTQ+ affirming care, experience with your concerns, and the kinds of virtual services they offer. That makes it easier to compare options and choose a good fit.

What should I ask before booking?

Ask whether the provider has experience working with LGBTQ+ clients and whether they support the issues you want help with, such as identity exploration, coming out, relationships, family conflict, trauma, anxiety, depression, or gender-affirming support. You can also ask about scheduling, fees, insurance, session format, and what first appointments are like. A short consultation can help you decide whether the provider feels affirming, practical, and easy to talk to.

Does my online therapist have to live in my state, and what happens if I travel out of state?

Your therapist does not usually need to live in your state, but they generally need to be licensed for the state where you are physically located during the appointment. That is why your location during each session matters. If you travel or split time between states, check whether the provider can legally continue care. You can also look for providers who are licensed in more than one state here: https://therapyexpanded.com/find-a-therapist-licensed-in-multiple-states.

Does insurance cover online therapy for LGBTQ+ support, and how does payment usually work?

Many providers accept insurance for online therapy, but coverage depends on your plan, the provider, and the service you receive. Some providers are in-network, while others provide superbills for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Before booking, check the provider’s profile for insurance details, session fees, and payment policies. It is also smart to confirm telehealth mental health benefits directly with your insurance company so you know what to expect.

What technology or privacy setup do I need for virtual sessions?

Most online therapy appointments work best in a private place with a reliable internet connection. A computer or laptop is often ideal, though a phone or tablet may also work depending on the provider and platform. Many sessions happen by video, but some providers may also use phone calls, secure messaging, texting, or email depending on the service. Providers may have their own policies about session location and privacy, so check ahead if that may be an issue.

What types of telehealth services are available for LGBTQ+ support?

Available services may include individual therapy for one-on-one support, couples counseling for relationship concerns, family therapy for family conflict or communication, group therapy for shared support, child or teen therapy for younger clients, and medication management when medication is part of care. Use the service filters to find providers who offer the format you want.

When is online therapy for LGBTQ+ support not the right choice?

Online therapy may not be the best fit during an immediate crisis, when emergency support is needed, when a higher level of care is required, or when you do not have a private space or reliable internet connection. It may also be harder if you need in-person services or frequent hands-on support. If you are in immediate danger or need urgent help, contact local emergency services or call or text 988 right away.

Need urgent support? Therapy Expanded is not a crisis service. If you are in immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. If you need urgent mental health, suicide, domestic violence, substance use, or LGBTQIA+ support, visit our crisis and mental health resources page.
